An insect-proof, form-fitting undergarment is provided having top and bottom parts formed of selected breathable materials and having omnidirectional stretch properties, and which top and bottom parts may be securely joined at the waist to prevent insect entry. A superfine knitted fabric is utilized to prevent insect bites.

Apparatus for a penis and a scrotum of a wearer are described. The apparatus may comprise a semi-rigid body and attachment element. The semi-rigid body may comprise a first structure sized to at least partially surround a posterior portion of the penis; a second structure positionable to maintain a separation between a posterior portion of the scrotum and thighs of the wearer; and third structure positionable to maintain a separation between an anterior portion of the scrotum and the penis when the second structure maintains the separation between the posterior portion of the scrotum and the thighs. The attachment element may be configured to maintain the semi-rigid body in a position relative to the wearer such that the second structure maintains the separation between the posterior portion of the scrotum and the thighs and the third structure maintains the separation between the anterior portion of the scrotum and the penis.

An athletic garment generally includes a short member, a supporter, and a plurality of straps. The short member may include a front panel, rear panel, two side panels, and a waistband. The supporter is dimensioned to releasably receive an athletic protective cup. The straps are coupled to one end of the supporter and are attached to the opposing rear panel of the short member.

A pair of boxer pants is easy to follow the movements of the lower body and is comfortable to wear. A pair of boxer pants is formed using a weft knitted fabric whose stretchability is different between a first direction (a direction along stretch lines S) and a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction, and the stretchability in the first direction (the direction along the stretch lines S) is larger than the stretchability in the second direction, resulting in being more extendable and contractable in the first direction (the direction along the stretch lines S) than in the second direction. In the pair of boxer pants, when, from the abdomen side, viewing a standing state with the pair of boxer pants worn, the first direction (the direction along the stretch lines S) is an oblique direction except for at least the central part; and when, from the back side, viewing the standing state with the pair of boxer pants worn, the first direction (the direction along the stretch lines S) is an up-down direction.

Apparatus that enables non-penetrating sex between two users. Embodiments may be integrated into or attached to clothing worn by the first user. A tubular element (including, but not limited to, a male or female condom) may be installed either permanently or detachably; attachments at both the open and closed ends of the tubular element ensure that it will not penetrate the first user. Users may therefore enjoy many of the benefits of sex, including intimacy and mutual stimulation, without the risks inherent in penetration. Attachment for the open end may use for example an element that attaches to a base ring or flange at the open end. Illustrative attachments for the closed end include a loop into which the closed end is cinched, a notch or hole into which a button in the closed end is inserted, and a mechanism into which the closed end is inserted, folded, and secured.

Apparatuses and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a particulate protective article. An example particulate protective article includes one or more structural sections that are formed of a primary material and one or more protective sections connected with the one or more structural sections so as to form an article of clothing. Each protective section is formed of a particulate blocking or filtering material. In an instance in which the article is worn by a user, the one or more protective sections shield one or more corresponding areas of the user's superficial lymphatic system from particulate matter. In some embodiments, the article is formed as a shirt so as to shield the torso, armpits, and/or neck of the user. In other embodiments, the article is formed as an undergarment so as to shield the groin, lower abdomen, and/or buttocks of the user.
